Hi,
I dug a little bit more into my new (alleged?) AMD Athlon XP-M 2400+ (Barton) using x86info-1.12a. According to the 512K cache it is indeed a Barton core but I suspect it's not a mobile. Please see the output of x86info and /pro/cpuinfo - the kernel (SuSE 2.4.21-166) says it's a Duron !). Essentially, I can't set
the upper and lower frequency using/proc/cpufreq. According to
http://fab51.fc2web.com/pc/refs/opn_guide.html, it is indeed a "Mainstream XP-M" (AXMH2400FQQ4C). Any idea why setting FID and VID don't work? What also worries me is the max FID of 13.5 which means I can't run this CPU at 18x100? Does that mean I need to get another board (one with a real FSB133 and a BIOS that recognized this CPU)? ACPI won't work here because it's a Asus A7V board that the kernel will force to acpi=oldboot.
x86info is broken in order to know if you can set VID/FID. This processor can only have a mult of 13.5 at max.
For the rest of your question, I don't know.
Cheers,
